Taking a Break from the Modern World

Chivalry's Reward -- I had to come up with a story to explain the wonky state of this ring, made with a scratched up old stone from a repaired class ring, set upside down. It was irregularly cut and gave me fits getting the bezel and the bearing to match the off-true sides. Read the fantasy in my Etsy shop, here. I have discovered the perfect tool for distressing metal to get that age-old, many adventures look: my front sidewalk, in combination with a ball pein hammer. Awfully good for getting one's frustrations expressed -- time to make another!
